Rachid Ouramdane

Loin…


Rachid Ouramdane returns to the Athens Festival with another autobiographical solo: Loin [Far, 2008], a piece in which he re-examines issues of identity. Focusing this time round on the past and his dual heritage, he traces the footsteps of his Algerian father, who fought in Indochina as a member of the French expeditionary corps.


A dancer, choreographer and video artist with a unique gift for incorporating new media into his performances without this predetermining his dramaturgy, Rachid Ouramdane is inspired by reality and puts reality on stage with a poetic touch all of his own.
